For the people that prefer Denon and considering the X2800H.
GT has the new X2900H for $999.
Has a few perks, a big one is access to Dirac Live(only).
Looking back at the last 5 years on here, it seems that's all people need/want, no loss.
Luckily you only pay for it if you choose to.
Especially with the advent of A1EVO, you likely won't need it!

Most likely would be 2901.
Most likely would be 2901.
They typically release a new model in each line every year. So I was curious what will happen with 2900, 3900 and 4900 for the next iteration. Perhaps you are right and they go with 01.
Pay "a little more"!....$1800 + $300 to test Dirac!!!
You can get the exact same "base Dirac" license right now included on the Onkyo 7100 for $600!!!

(supermanrob, now's your chance to completely downplay Dirac ART, which you paid $800+ for as you claim)
So $1800 +,not $300 but $800!!
Especially since ART has ZERO benefit unless you buy(own) it!
I would(have) ask, since you "up play" ART so often, why don't you own it?
BTW I paid $560 for ART.
"Limp mode" is just a measurement issue, not a practical/sonic one!
You have plenty of proof from owners these last 5+ years!
Here is another example, just go to the 15:40 mark.
Pretty interesting video overall also.
I came to the same conclusion on the RZ30 on a 9 channel SVS Prime/Ultra setup.

"This means that Dirac Live will correct the full bandwidth range (20Hz-20kHz). This option is included in all Onkyo multi-channel Dirac Live-equipped AVRs, for no extra charge."
This correction is for loudspeakers only, it doesn't include subwoofer/bass.
It will calculate it into it so you should do the correction prior to running Dirac calibration.
This nor the 7100 offer access to Dirac's subwoofer/bass correction(Dirac Live Bass Control).
